Humanitarian Toolbox Hackathon

Saturday, December 10, 2016

London .NET Developers is hosting another full day Humanitarian Toolbox Hackathon on Saturday, Dec 10th, 2016 from 8:30am – 4:30pm.

Humanitarian Toolbox

Humanitarian Toolbox’s (HTbox) mission is to connect IT or developer resources to charity organizations that are in need of these people’s expertise. The HTbox uses Github as a public repo for its remote teams to work on the projects. Regardless of your experience in open source or whether you are or want to be a coder, tester, designer, or something else, your skills can save lives.

Event Details

The project we will be working on for this event is the allReady application. We are asking for volunteer developers to help work on bug fixes or features for the application.

The allReady application has been built with the latest patterns and best practices using ASP.Net core. The good thing here while you are learning ASP.Net Core you will be helping a good cause.

We provide a quick demo on git on how to fetch and commit the code from the project GitHub.

The goal is to complete as many issues as possible and submit a pull request back to the project repo by the end of the event.

allReady, an open-source solution focused on increasing awareness, efficiency and impact of preparedness campaigns as they are delivered by humanitarian and disaster response organizations in local communities

Project standup meetings

Good way to for everyone to get up to speed on the allReady project is to checkout the weekly standup meetings.

We're about:

We will meet regularly to explore the use of .NET for building mobile to web applications or just for fun of coding. Our goal is to create a great social group in the London and surrounding area where everyone can come share and learn from each other. We will be learning and coding with a focus on web and multi-platform mobile development, including MonoTouch, Mono for Android, Windows Phone, Windows 8 and ASP.NET.
